COMMERCIAL DESCRIPTIONThis is John Maier’s secret recipe that blends all seven hops grown in the hopyard of Rogue Farms. It is a true taste of the terroir of the Wigrich Appellation, the oldest hops growing region in Oregon.

Bottle from Central City Liquor store, SurreyHazy copper color with medium sized head. Good aroma of hops, but also very nice, lean biscuity malt and light lemony touch. Agile and lean mouthfeel; very good flavor, sapient mix of biscuity malts, caramel and toffee; moderate sweetness; good bitterness with some jammy fruitiness.Fresh, candyish, satisfying and dangerous.

Bottle, 22oz. A hazy, dark golden to light amber beer with a small light beige head. The aroma is very hoppy, with resins and pine cones. Crystal malt kind of sweetness. It’s full-bodied and soft on the palate, with a smooth carbonation and quite a lot of of bitterness. Pine cones, resins and malty sweetness. Lasting bitter and fruity finish. Quite nice this one, even though it’s probably a bit old already. 150124

Slightly hazy lively orange-amber character. The aroma has a lot of chewy malts - bit crystally. The hops are definitely a mélange, bit of white wine, pears in syrup, and maybe a touch of peach. The taste is similar, a touch chewy and pale fruit, and the finish is the usual Dipa mix of sticky malts, touch of hops and a bit of alcohol.
